Have you ever just wanted to remove the skin of the person you were treating so you could finally see what was really causing the pain?

As an endoscopic spinal surgeon, I am always trying to track down the causes of back and neck pain with whatever means I can. This includes using MRI and CT’s, spinal pain mapping with fluoroscopic x-ray. When I can find the problem, it can often be cured with laser spine surgery performed with a small tube and 22x magnification.

When it comes to treating neck and back pain, I think we are all on the same side and I thought you might be interested in some of the things I get to find out when people are considering surgery, but don’t want a fusion.
